Benefits of technology

This configuration effectively reduces both initial and transitional pressure loss, ensuring stable engine performance and improved fuel economy by allowing wide and thin PM accumulation, thereby minimizing the adverse effects of increased pressure loss over time.

Problems solved by technology

The PM adversely affects the environment and human bodies, which has been a recent issue.

first embodiment

[0252]A honeycomb filter according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0253]The honeycomb filter according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of honeycomb fired bodies each having an outer wall on the periphery thereof. Each honeycomb fired body includes exhaust gas emission cells each having an open end at an exhaust gas outlet side and a plugged end at an exhaust gas inlet side, and exhaust gas introduction cells each having an open end at the exhaust gas inlet side and a plugged end at the exhaust gas outlet side, the exhaust gas introduction cells including first exhaust gas introduction cells and second exhaust gas introduction cells. The honeycomb fired bodies are combined with one another via adhesive layers therebetween.

[0254]The exhaust gas emission cells are each adjacently surrounded fully by the first exhaust gas introduction cells and the second exhaust gas introduction cells across the porous cell walls....

example 1

[0357]A mixture was obtained by mixing 52.8% by weight of silicon carbide coarse powder having an average particle size of 22 μm and 22.6% by weight of silicon carbide fine powder having an average particle size of 0.5 μm. To the resulting mixture were added 4.6% by weight of an organic binder (methylcellulose), 0.8% by weight of a lubricant (UNILUB, manufactured by NOF Corporation), 1.3% by weight of glycerin, 1.9% by weight of a pore-forming agent (acrylic resin), 2.8% by weight of oleic acid, and 13.2% by weight of water, followed by kneading to prepare a wet mixture. Subsequently, the wet mixture was extrusion-molded (molding step).

[0358]In this step, a raw honeycomb molded body having the same shape as the honeycomb fired body 10a shown in FIG. 8A but without plugs in the cells was manufactured.

[0359]Next, the raw honeycomb molded body was dried by a microwave dryer to manufacture a dried honeycomb molded body. Then, predetermined cells of the dried honeycomb molded body were p...

second embodiment

[0399]A honeycomb filter according to the second embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0400]The honeycomb filter according to the second embodiment includes one honeycomb fired body having an outer wall on the periphery thereof. The honeycomb fired body includes exhaust gas emission cells each having an open end at an exhaust gas outlet side and a plugged end at an exhaust gas inlet side, and exhaust gas introduction cells each having an open end at the exhaust gas inlet side and a plugged end at the exhaust gas outlet side, the exhaust gas introduction cells including first exhaust gas introduction cells and second exhaust gas introduction cells.

[0401]The exhaust gas emission cells are each adjacently surrounded fully by the first exhaust gas introduction cells and the second exhaust gas introduction cells across the porous cell walls.

[0402]In the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cells, each second exhaust gas introduction cell has ...

Abstract

A honeycomb filter includes a plurality of cells and porous cell walls. The plurality of cells defines exhaust gas passages. The plurality of cells includes exhaust gas introduction cells and exhaust gas emission cells. Each of the exhaust gas emission cells is adjacently surrounded fully by the exhaust gas introduction cells across the porous cell walls. The exhaust gas introduction cells include first exhaust gas introduction cells and second exhaust gas introduction cells. A cross-sectional area of each of the exhaust gas emission cells in a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the plurality of cells is equal to or larger than a cross-sectional area of each of the second exhaust gas introduction cells in the cross section. The exhaust gas introduction cells and the exhaust gas emission cells have one of a first structure and a second structure in the cross section.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation application of International Application No. PCT / JP2013 / 066240, filed Jun. 12, 2013, which claims priority to International Application No. PCT / JP2012 / 065390, filed Jun. 15, 2012. The contents of these International Applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Technical Field[0003]The present invention relates to a honeycomb filter.[0004]Background Art[0005]Exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine contains particulates such as soot (hereinafter also referred to as PM). The PM adversely affects the environment and human bodies, which has been a recent issue. Since exhaust gas contains toxic gas components such as CO, HC, and NOx, there has also been a concern about the effect of the toxic gas components on the environment and human bodies.[0006]To overcome this problem, various filters including a honey...
